Four years ago, on the seventh BMN ever, we had an Olympic theme with Graduation Day... Hold on, Graduation Day has been invoked, we must listen to the theme song:
...and Death Race 2000. Nobody came. Okay, I understand the futuristic, coast-to-coast, pedestrian-murdering car race in Death Race 2000 isn't an Olympic sport. Yet. Maybe that's what turned people off. Maybe they didn't like the idea that although the students in Graduation Day are nearing the end of the school year everyone is still playing every sport. Or maybe people were busy.
Fatal Games is also known as Olympic Nightmare so the Olympic connection isn't a stretch but the people in the movie talk a lot about going to Nationals, a competition we never see. So I don't know how hopeful these Olympic hopefuls are.
28 Days Later... is a sequel to 28 Days
where a drunken Sandra Bollock infects a monkey with the Rage virus. Kind of a weird direction to take. It would be like if the sequel to Chernobyl Diaries was a gentle comedy about life's foibles.
Speaking of rage monkeys, why didn't we watch this with Primal Rage?:
Again, Russians have a weird way of dubbing a movie.
28DL... isn't a zombie movie but an infected people movie. Like Nightmare City. That's why they run so don't freak out if you're a lumbering-zombie purist.
Here's what happened last week:
Um, I'm pretty sure I was at that Graduation Day/Death Race 2000. I remember both those movies. But maybe I don't count :/
ReplyDeleteI was really into trying to show movies from unattended nights as the third movie on subsequent nights. I've given up on that. That's right, you'll never see Deadly Eyes ever!
